I think my big issue with this book was the pace. I did enjoy seeing Rodger and Dodger interacting, getting to know each other and themselves, but I felt like a lot of it didn’t really move the story forward. And this wasn’t just a story of the two of them living their lives and learning about each other. There was an overarching plot, revolving around James Reed’s plan, but it seemed like the book didn’t really care about that until the very end. I think I would have preferred the book to be one or the other, but it tried to be both an exploration of these two characters and a story with some action and intrigue. 

 

Not my favourite, but I will continue with the series.
